What Do I Know?I already know some parts of the eye but there are many more. I know partially why sometimes are vision is blurry and we need glasses. Ther is so much more into the human eye.

What Have I Learned?I have learned the parts of the human eye and how they work, why we have eye diseases and how we get them, why we have blurry vision (near and farsighted). I have also learned there are so many parts to the eye and if only one wasn't working, then the whole eye couldn't work.

What Do I Want To Know?I want to learn more of if animal eyes are the same. It was cool listening to the project about colour blindness in dogs because I could relate to some things.

How Will I Find Out?I will research and take down notes onto my google drive. I will research 1/3 subtopic questions per day.

What Action Will I Take?I will create an iMovie to audio record my learning. I will have pictures showing as I speak.

What new Questions do I Have?

Some new questions I had along the way were, What are the parts of the eye, why do we have blurry vision, how do we get eye diseases, what makes the iris blue, brown, ect. There are so many interesting things to the eye.

My Reflection:

doing the eye as my project was very interesting. I have learned so much, I felt like my brain was going to explode with knowledge! There are millions of parts it feels like that all make up one eye. Without one little thing the eye wouldn't work properly. I think the most fascinating part of my project was learning how the parts work. I can't think of a lot of things I would've done differently but I would have different sub questions. I would maybe also focus on one part of the eye at a time. For example I might focus on how they work, or what makes you see, ect.I never really had any problems with my project. The only hard part would probably of been is understanding all the advanced doctor words but I was on a website that was very helpful and made a lot of sense.

I'm so happy with my final project. I'm glad I was gave the chance to explore in what I want to learn about. I hope we get a chance to do another genius hour, I wonder what my question will be next time!

Today I worked on finishing touches to my presentation. For example I added some fun facts about the eye. Like, The human eye can process 36,00 or more bits of information every hour. I am now completely finished my genius hour. While I am presenting, I will show my information is true with using an eye poster that has everything you need to know.

I learned that the human eye and the dog eye are similar. The work the same but all dogs have a form of colour blindness. I also learned that cones and rods (parts of the to help see some colours) are named after there shapes. One thing I also found interesting was that if you don't cry, you will get a disease called dry eye. So it's healthy to cry, because if you never cry your eyes won't get the chemicals they need.

Since I'm finished my presentation, and my notes, I don't really have any next steps.I'm all ready to go and I'm really excited. I'm already thinking of questions for my next genius hour. I love genius hour because we don't get a mark for our work. We just do it for our own wonders and questions. It's funny, even though it doesn't end up on my report card, I've never been so passionate about my learning.

Today I started making my imovie presentation. Later today at home I finished it. I did all voice over because Having long paragraphs would just bore the audience. I did my 3 main sub questions. What do the different parts of the eye do? What and how do we get eye diseases? Why do we have blurry vision?For my last session I will fine tune my imovie and make sure everything is ready and perfect. I love genius hour because it's not for the grades, it's for your own learning and passions to learn.

Today I worked on why do we have blurry vision? Once I finished that I worked on why do we have eye diseases? WHat are the eye disases?It was very fascinating.My next steps would be either doing another sub question, why are humans colourblind? What makes them colourblind? I'm making an imovie to do my presentation on. This will be easier because then I don't have to bore them with my long paragraphs. I'm excited for my finished product!

Today my goal was to research the different parts of the eye, how they work, and what they do for the eye. It was very interesting. I didn’t know that there was so many parts to the eye. It’s also cool how they all work together. Without one little part of the eye, it wouldn’t work. To the left is a diagram of the eye. There is even more parts of the eye than that. I’m just touching the surface of learning.

Next session I will start on one of my sub questions, why might we have blurry vision? If I finish that I will work on one of my other sub questions, why might humans be colourblind? I am excited to learn more because the eye is a very interesting topic.

Today was our second to last day of genius hour before presentation on Wednesday. Today I pretty much finished my song. Next session I will work on tuning all the instruments so they blend nicely. Today I learned that a lot of good songs start of with one note and carry the “sound" the whole way through the song. One of my troubles today was how I was going to end the song. I tried a lot of different sounds, shortened them, edited them everything! I finally found a sound that fits all my needs! I am really happy, excited, and nervous all at the same time.

On Wednesday I’m super excited but so nervous to. I was so relieved to hear that we’re just going in small groups and not in front of the whole class! I suck at those. But I am excited to let people hear my short song!

Today in genius hour I found out how to record a short part of music, and replay it as many times as you want. This tool was very helpful because I didn’t have to do all of it again. I better hurry up though because most people are well on there way. I was still researching until today.

Today I changed my subject to, how can I make a song on garage band? Today I started researching it and then at the end I started playing around with it. What went well was I went on youtube and looked up video’s which was very helpful. But at one point my computer froze and I lost all my progress. Then I started wondering what instruments sounded well together? I am still researching that. Next time I will finish off my researching but mainly focus on the sounding of my music.

Dec.6 Today I found my project idea. It is how to code and make an app. There is a lot of concepts in this concept. Like coding, that could be one project by itself! It will take me awhile to learn how to code but I’m excited to start researching about it!I think it will go well because I’m good with sticking to a hard project but I know it’s going to turn out great!Some problems are going to have to learn how to code, which will take a long time so I hope I can learn it quick so I can understand, and will be able to get on to my making of my app.Next work session I will start researching coding, and how to do it. It will probably take the whole 90 minutes!
